You can probably guess that Autumn Masala is a masala chai. The dry leaves have a spicy, woodsy (think pine) aroma. I prepared a pot of tea, steeping it for three minutes (the suggested time was 3-5 minutes). The liquor from the three-minute steep was mildly flavored. An additional two-minute infusion time did not significantly alter the taste. I would not recommend adding milk to this tea as it would only weaken the spice flavors.

The name Heavenly Cream doesn't provide a hint of the ingredients in the blend but as soon as I opened the packet, I knew that the tea contained bergamot. It is not a straight Earl Grey as the tea is blended with vanilla. The vanilla provides a creamy note and smooths the intensity of the bergamot. I don't seek out Earl Grey teas or teas flavored with bergamot but this blend was enjoyable. I steeped the leaves for four minutes - the instructions recommend 4-6 minutes - and that was enough time to extract a rich amber color and bold flavor. The liquor retains its character with milk. I craved banana pudding while drinking this tea so I think it would pair well with sweets, for dessert or for afternoon tea.
